Denis Deaves cardiff

I noticed on the Bures website, there is a new addition about people who had been in the second world war and applied for some fund money, there are a number of Deaves on the list, perhaps some of those belong to you, it gives their address and rank.

Denis,
look out also for the photo of builder Stanley Deaves by the war memorial.

I don't know how far you have researched your family history so you may or may not know that James Deaves (born Bures Q1 1856) married Harriet Theobald (born Bures Q1 1854) in Bures during Q2 1875.

In 1881,they were living at 6 Elizabeth Place, Greenwich with their 3 children,Anne (7), Walter (5) ....both born in Bures and James (2), born in Greenwich.

Also living with them was James snr's 21 year old brother,Walter Deaves.

My family is related to the Deaves through marriage. Stanley Deaves (Chrles son??) was married to my grandmother's sister. I have passed a copy of this post on to a "Deaves" cousin.
